Auto-resize and rotation of photos
Modern mobile devices increasingly use high quality cameras that produce large photos. While this can be helpful, it can also produce image files that are much larger in size than is needed. This can result in data storage problems both on the mobile device and the destination storage location (e.g., network file server, OneDrive, InventoryManager, Spatial CMS). MobileMap allows you to choose the desired resolution for photos (Settings > Photos > Output Photo Size). When resizing photos, MobileMap will also rotate them appropriately. Without this, often times photos orientation is only encoded in the metadata (EXIF) and does not display as expected in every application.
Auto-naming of photos
MobileMap automatically names with the date and time of photo capture (e.g., 1_15_2021_14_45_59.jpg) to help with data management. By including the time down to the seconds, it helps reduce the chance that photos collected by other users will have conflicting file names.
MobileMap can optionally embed the name of the attribute field used to collect the photo into the photo file name if desired. This can be helpful when more than one attribute fields are used to collect photos (e.g., Photo_North vs Photo_South).
Organization of photo file locations
MobileMap will write all photos into a date-specific folder in the selected data directory, which is typically on a MicroSD Card. This allows users to easily identify the location of photos and copy them to a PC or network file location based on the date they were captured.
Support for upload (when enabled in InventoryManager or Spatial CMS)
For users that have an InventoryManager or Spatial CMS application, there is an option to enable direct upload from MobileMap to that web application. This must be enabled by a site administrator and will require MobileMap settings for the photo upload URL, username and password (not the same as the ArcGIS username and password used for uploading/downloading feature data, but only needs to be entered once in settings).

To enable photo support in MobileMap, simply include one or more Text (String) fields in your data model that will be used to capture photos (and save the photo filenames). See MobileMap: Data Modeling Process for more information on defining the data model, including photo fields. It is possible to use more than one photo field in a feature layer (e.g., Photo_North, Photo_South, etc.). It is also possible to collect more than one photo per attribute field (e.g., collect 4 photos in the Photos attribute field).
